Retia,

Thanks for taking the time to write. As you can see I've drawn a couple of designs using your info. I hope you can use one or both. You can find a good artist like Eric Palmer to adjust it or redesign it to make you happy with it. I'm glad you remembered the "D in a B". And for the record I didn't do that for everyone. Just you. You apologized in your letter about not sending me a X-mas card. I'm glad you understand. That's one of the holidays I just want to disappear. And all that "Happy New Year" crap. I heard that so much in here and all I heard was "Happy to be Here." I am being held hostage by a hostile government and I'm NOT happy to be here. I don't want to get all negative and that's what thinking of that causes so I'll let it go.

The item I posted titled "Flowers and Weed" is a mostly metaphorical pondering. I don't know if you got that or not. If not - read it again. I write, or HAVE written, many little things. Some are paragraphs, some just a sentence. Things that pop into my head for some reason or the other.

I may post a few things that I have layin' around. And now that I've had some of my art originals returned I'll send in some more.

And, since you mentioned it, I don't think my mom hated you at all, but I agree that your dad hated me. I was a punk rock hooligan on a motorcycle. It's almost mandatory to hate me! And if he knew what I was doing to his daughter, I'd be dead a long time ago! Oi oi!

I hope you don't think the comment I made about your height was an insult. It was anything but! I thought EVERYONE liked short girls. Obviously it runs in MY family: my son Scotty's girlfriend who he just had a baby with is 4 FOOT 2! Anyway, I'm gone. Thanks again for the letter. Wish I could send you some art, etc directly but I know your "situation" prohibits it. Talk at you soon.
